Ingredients

• 12 sheets Graham crackers
• 2 packages Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 4 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Corn syrup
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with the whole milk. Whisk until the pudding thickens, about 2-3 minutes, and set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Step 3

Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until fully combined and smooth. This will create your eclair filling.

Step 4

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place a single layer of graham cracker sheets across the bottom, breaking them as needed to completely cover the surface.

Step 5

Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the layer of graham crackers.

Step 6

Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding, then spread the remaining pudding mixture over the crackers.

Step 7

Finish with one final layer of graham crackers on top, ensuring they are flat and evenly arranged.

Step 8

To make the chocolate topping, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Step 9

Whisk the powdered sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 10

Quickly pour the chocolate topping over the final layer of graham crackers, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover the surface.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and the graham crackers to soften.

Step 12

Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Enjoy your homemade Graham Cracker Chocolate Eclairs!
